About 2012 National Historic Landmark (NHL) Photo Contest

Are you a history buff? Photography fan? Dedicated traveler? Neighborhood explorer? The steward of a National Historic Landmark?

Grab your camera and visit National Historic Landmarks in your community or anywhere you travel – there are 2,500 to discover.

You’ll discover unexpected places and things that are NHLs – railway buildings, a recording studio, college stadiums, submarines, a giant antenna array, cemeteries, a water pumping station, a space simulator, at least one giant wooden elephant, and so many more. Have fun and go explore.

The 13th Annual National Historic Landmark Photo Contest page will be open for entries from Friday, April 13, 2012, through Wednesday, June 13, 2012 (midnight EST).

This year, we’re challenging photographers to give us a little insight to their experience. In addition to your photograph, please share with us a few words responding to one of the prompts below.

Visiting this National Historic Landmark:

We’re eager to see your images and to hear what your experiences were like.

Need to confirm a place is an NHL? You may check the database here. [www.nps.gov/nhl/designations/listsofNHLs.htm] (Please note that a building listed on the National Register of Historic Places is not necessarily a National Historic Landmark.)

Photographers may enter up to 10 photographs in the contest, but only one photo per each NHL. Photographers must accept the contest rules before they can enter. Images must be tagged 2012NHLPhotoContest AND added to the group pool. Illustrated instructions on how to do this can be found here: www.flickr.com/photos/nationalregister/7062033141/in/pool...
